There are a number of resources, organisations and facilities that can offer help or support to persons with psychosocial or intellectual disability, as well as to their families. The South African Federation for Mental Health has 17 Mental Health Societies located across South Africa that offer community based services and assistance. There are also a number of organisations that have emergency helplines, offering 24 hour counselling and assistance for crises situations. The SAFMH Information Library offers up to date and reliable information that can help to inform and educate mental health care users and their families about mental disorders and disabilities.
